No one is attacking your rights. Just your privacy. I know people don't like to hear it but their is no Constitutional right to privacy. What privacy you do have is by statute.
Keep this in mind - in a democracy, anything that is not subject to a law to say otherwise:
1. it is allowed for the citizens
2. it is forbidden for the state/government.
So spare me with the "Constitution doesn't grant you this right" or cease pretending US is a democracy.
(I'll be counting the replies recycling the "by Constitution, US is a republic, not a democracy". I do hope I'll have none to count).
But even the motto of the state he was elected to serve spells it out...."Audemus jura nostra defendere" - We Dare Defend Our Rights, and here he is wanting to surrender everyones to the corporate overlords.
There's no contradiction... it's only the matter of correctly defining who are "we" and the motto still holds true.
I don't know who keeps modding this stupid tranny up, but it has no idea what it is talking about. In fact it is a mentally unstable indiivudal itself that should be put down for the betterment of society.
One name: John Nash. He was mentally unstable: had he been put down, would the society be better?
You reckon? We've seen TSA banning liquids, nail files and what not, and not another terrorist attack flying a plane into a building... this means prevention should have been effective.
Tell you what: let's ban pressure cookers and black backpacks and we're safe... how hard can it be?
Also: what the hell TSA is wasting money for? After all, running is a form of transportation, isn't this also in the scope of TSA protection?
(</sarcasm>) Let me repeat my point: given that prevention is impossible, what the hell TSA is wasting money for?

53% of slashdotters get shortness of breath looking at a treadmill.
Other 46.0% will get dizzy - the remaining 1% are in army service or are girls-in-training (with or without bra).
None of them will get light-headed though: being predisposed to such symptoms runs counter to being a/.-er.
Write your public and private Apis first. Then implement them quick and dirty....
API first.
So true, it can't be stressed enough. Supplementary:
1. when considering API-s, consider them in term of service interfaces: even better if these services are stateless.
2. implement the services as different processes, exchanging data in whatever serialization format you fancy (Java serialization, JSON, Google's protocol buffers). Use the quick-and-dirty for their first cycles of implementation: as long as you maintain the interfaces unchanged, one can later come and re-implement them better.
3. pay attention to what needs to be shared across the whole system and what can be divided/partitioned on different hosts. E.g. highly probable that "subscription info/user identity/login services" may need to be supported by a single "database" but, once the user finishes the login, she gets her data from a storage hosted else, supported by whatever later development cycles would find appropriate (of course, at later stages, one will need to implement a "registry" mapping a user identity to where the data is stored. But the first implementation can use a single database for the data of all users as long as you do not tie in the login service with other services
Sorry but us Americans are stubborn assholes who dont care about the issues all we care about is what the party says on the issue.
Hi. I'm an American too. We aren't all stubborn assholes. Case in point, I tracked down this poster and told a truck full of passing conservatives that a single mother lived at the poster's home address and was collecting welfare. I don't think we'll be seeing him after tonight.
(notice: no malice intended or implied in the below, on the contrary)
;) Yeap... I have to admit there exist Americans that aren't only stubborn but also inventive/imaginative assholes; the later make use of stubborn only assholes as a maneuver mass to achieve their purpose (still stubbornly followed). Sounds like you are pretty close to a successful lobby career, is that what you are training for?:)
If by "change" you mean the perceived effects of time, than think again - Einstein has proven you wrong long ago. Only the speed of light in vacuum is absolute and nothing else, not even time. Period (but not absolute period).
Einstein proved shit in regards with the speed of light in vacuum - he took it as a postulate. What you said sounds like "Newton proved that to every action there's an opposite reaction" or "Clausius proved that heat can never pass from a colder to a warmer body without some other change".
Correct. In details:
* NASA - interested in cosmic objects farther away - the minimal distance Mars (Moon is sooo 1960-ish it's no longer "space")
* Air Force - busy dealing with fiscal cliffs and sequesters when they aren't pulling their hair over the F-35 project
* Private industry - there's no profit to be made nor tax exemption opportunities. Even more, the ones that would have the budget to attempt something like this are multinationals - the risk of being affected are much lower than the potential profit they'd make would an asteroid actually strike
what i've always wanted to know was why are snowflakes symmetric?
how does crystal faces on opposite sides of the snowflake 'know' to grow symmetric filligree?
Possible explanation not involving "knowing": if they are asymmetric, they break due to difference in air drag forces over the asymmetrical branches (?!?? something like "snow flake evolutionary pressure"?)
This technique carefully washes away some parts of the brain leaving the fat cells, neurons etc intact.
Fat cell intact but without fat. TFA:
Dr. Chung said the hydrogel forms a kind of mesh that permeates the brain and connects to most of the molecules, but not to the lipids, which include fats and some other substances. The brain is then put in a soapy solution and an electric current is applied, which drives the solution through the brain, washing out the lipids.
Now, about...
Then they apply electric current and study the connectivity.
Perhaps the technique has some value in allowing particular protein staining be applied, but I really doubt that one can still consider the brain prepared as such a functional one.
You see, that fat (myelin mainly) that makes the brain opaque... it has quite a big role: it's an electrical insulator. And one just replaced that insulation with hydrogel, which, containing water, is conductive (unless one eliminates all the ions inside the brain - especially those pesky highly mobile Na, K and Ca ones; hang-on, aren't they required to actually have electrical conduction inside neurons? if one succeeds, the result would be making all the neurons non-conductive). Mind you, the loss of only a small percentage of that myelin is pretty nasty Applying the procedure it's pretty much like sinking you computer in water: can't really expect it to work afterwards... but maybe I'm wrong so, please, do elaborate on how can one expect a functional brain.
If you've arrested them under suspicion of a felony and are conducting a search of their person then yes. Otherwise no.
Innocent until proven guilty? Is there any constitutional difference on the level of guilt of a policeman/judge and a suspect under investigation? The fact that one is a suspect, does it make the one automatically lose some or all their constitutional rights?
using Zotero in the USE is probably a federal crime, bearing a liability up to several decades in prison: as they say "Zotero [allows] you to add [content] to your personal library with a single click. [...] a journal article from JSTOR, a news story from the New York Times [...]"
Are we sure that semi-automatically adding an article from JSTOR or NYT to my library is not a violation of their terms of service?
Nope... If it's illegal in your country, that your click is illegal.

The US is *not* a democracy.
It's a democratic republic.
And a democratic republic is not... well... democratic?
Let me rephrase: in a democratic republic, does one need a statute to grant rights to the one?
